What are the specifics of the environment in which you tested? I noticed a perceived slowdown on my workstation when I tested W2k Pro. The GUI and things in general seemed a bit sluggish so I switched back to NT 4.x Wks. All the benchmarking that I have seen on W2k Server, most by independent labs and/or researchers, has shown it to be significantly faster than NT. The caveat to this is that the platforms have all been maxed out. By this I mean they all had >= 1GB RAM, numerous UW SCSI-3 HDs, a meaty RAID controller, >= dual PIII CPU's, ... you get the point. My only W2k server is such a box, so I'm not really in a position to say, "it runs great on less than maxed out hardware", but my impression has been that it does require a hardware increase proportional to the NT 3.51 -> 4.0 upgrade.

I've been pondering moving some servers to W2K as I've like W2K on the desktop and mostly I've heard that it's a lot more stable and IIS 5 is supposed to be significantly faster. Seemed like a good idea, until I read this post. Could anyone provide further insight into this issue?
